No, it means that unless we appeal this decision, the only action that
will be taken is a hearing to re-visit the restitution amount. The
only amount in contest is the amount paid by Intel to outside
lawyers. The appellate court found that it was not reasonable for
Intel to claim fees paid to outside lawyers, since Intel has an
internal counsel, and also had the district attorney to offer
consultation regarding criminal activity. I don't have my notes in
front of me, but I believe this amount was less than $10,000 of the
$67,471.45 I paid for restitution, so it's a very minor "win" in that
sense.
